There
is a myth that communism is dead and that the cold war is over. Nothing
could be further from the truth. The problem is that few people today
understand what communism really is and just where the cold war battle
lines are actually drawn. Crack open a dictionary and look up the term
"Dialectical Materialism." You should find something like this:

"A
philosophy founded by Karl Marx" which forms the basis of Communist
doctrine: it combines the materialistic idea of matter over mind with
the Hegalian dialectic in which opposing forces are constantly being reunited
at a higher level." --Webster Dictionary

But
that definition might beg the question, "What is the Hegelian dialectic?"
For modern man, the answer to that question is epic. The Hegelian dialectic
has profoundly impacted the world in which you live.

What
is communism?

The
Dialectic:
Fomenting the Revolution

The
concept of the dialectic has been around for a long time. It is simply
that of opposite positions: Thesis (position) vs. Antithesis (opposite
position). In traditional logic, if my thesis was true, then all other
positions were by definition untrue. For example, if my thesis is 2+2=4,
then all other answers (antithesis) are false. George W.F. Hegel, the
nineteenth century German philosopher, turned that concept upside down
by equalizing Thesis and Antithesis. All things are now relative. There
is no such thing as absolute truth to be found anywhere. Instead, "truth"
is found in Synthesis, a compromise of Thesis and Antithesis. This is
the heart and soul of the consensus process.

This
is diametrically opposed to the Judeo-Christian world-view prevalent in
the Western world for the better part of two millennia that held that
God existed, that He existed outside of the material creation and that
man had a moral obligation to Him and His laws. God was transcendent and
thus truth was absolute and transcendent, outside of our ability to manipulate
it. This all changed with Hegel and modern man was born. Man could now
challenge any authority and position, even God. Since there is no such
thing as absolute truth, "my truth" is just as good as "your
truth," so don't tell me what to think or how to behave. As Nietzsche,
the "God is Dead" philosopher, would later say, "There
is absolutely no absolute." Now 2+2 can equal 5, or 17, or whatever
you feel is right. (Hint: This is why our schools are failing. All teachers
are certified on Benjamin Bloom's work. He said "we recognize the
point of view that truth and knowledge are only relative and that there
are no hard and fast truths which exist for all time and all places.")

At
about the same time that Hegel was passing from the scene, Karl Marx caught
the revolutionary fever. He drew heavily from Hegel (the dialectic) and
Feuerbach (materialism). He picked up where the other philosophers left
the discussion, but with a twist. He scornfully stated, "The philosophers
have only interpreted the world in different ways. The point, however,
is to change it." To CHANGE the WORLD was to become the warp and
woof of Marxism. In the Marxian interpretation of reality, God had been
abandoned. Alone in his universe, man was to fill the vacuum left by religion
with materialism. Religion was the enemy of all progress. As he wrote
in 1843, "Religion is the opium of the people." No longer bound
to a relationship with his Creator, the social relationship of "man
to man" became the principle of Marx's theory. It followed that these
social relationships, which necessarily involve conflict, cause the changes
in human progress. As the opening words of the Communist Manifesto announce:
"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class
struggles." Note the dialectic reasoning: the clash of opposites
produces synthesis and change. Man, freed from religious restraints will
carry the revolution (change via conflict) forward until all are equal
in a man made utopia on earth. To that end, the Manifesto concludes, "Working
men all countries, unite!"

1.
It is Dialectical Materialism, or, in simpler terms: a God expunged
human reasoning process.2. REVOLUTION is its goal, to "change the world,"
Marx said.3. The CHANGE is to be from a Theistic World View
(Old World Order) to a Humanistic World View (New World Order). The
term New World Order was a popular euphemism for world communism for
years. Conspiracy kooks did not invent it. When it started to take
on negative connotations, it was dropped for a nicer sounding label,
Global Governance.4. Change is to occur through CONFLICT, (Crisis/Problems/Issues).

The
Cold War. Where is the battlefield?

Change
Happens: The re-culturing of America

Even
as the worldwide communist revolution got underway in earnest around
the glove, a rift was forming within Marxist intellectual circles. Around
the turn of the century there was a growing trend within this movement
that a better way to change the world is not abruptly and violently
at the point of a bayonet, (traditional Marxist revolution), but rather
it should be done slowly and incrementally by transforming individuals
and their cultural institutions. Then you can control a country as effectively
as if you conquered it militarily. In fact, this method is preferred
because one does not have to rebuild bombed out cities and dig all those
mass graves!

The
home for this new wave of dialectical Marxist thinking became the emerging
"science" of socio-psychology. It may come as a surprise to
many to discover that virtually all of the pillars of modern psychology
were humanistic utopians who believed that there is no God, that mankind
can and should be manipulated (for its own good, of course), and that
all social problems can be solved by the proper reprogramming of man's
mind. This would lead to an era of peace and prosperity based on diversity,
tolerance and unity. Most of their work dealt with the details of human
behavior, but their over-arching view was that of transforming society
(echo the revolution). Hence, they came to be known as "Transformational
Marxists."

One
such group was the Fabian Socialists, who took their name from the Roman
general, Fabius. Fabius, it will be remembered, was confronted with Hannibal's
invasion of Italy. Hannibal with his elephants held the advantage of superior
forces, but was far from home and supplies. Instead of confronting his
foe head on, a battle he would have certainly lost, Fabius utilized hit-and-run
tactics. Harassing his enemy and wearing him down incrementally piece-by-piece
over time until Hannibal capitulated, Fabius won the war. The Fabian Socialists
adopted this strategy in their goal of world socialism. In a similar vein,
the transformational Marxists advocated a "slow march through the
institutions," as famous Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci would say.
Gramsci's theories cannot be overstated in this regard, as this strategy
has become synonymous with his name. The Gramsci Strategy is the "War
of Position," (i.e. the battle ground is for the mind and culture)
vs. the "War of Maneuver," (i.e. traditional battlefield warfare
with guns and bombs.) Gramsci engendered the anger of his communist counterparts
in Moscow when he basically told them they were doing it all wrong. Gramsci
died in prison under Mussolini's regime, but his strategy has become the
strategy for changing society.

Meanwhile,
in Germany, a group of some 21 Marxist socio-psychologists gathered
in Frankfurt and formed the Institute of Marxist Research. Perhaps that
was a little too obvious for their opponents and they renamed it the
Institute for Social Research. When Hitler rose to power, most of these
men fled to America and continued their work here. Kurt Lewin, J.L.
Moreno, Theodor Adorno, Erik Fromm, Max Horkhiemer and others found
positions in American universities and had their work funded by pro-Marxist
foundations.

Kurt
Lewin is of special interest for this discussion because it was he who
went to M.I.T. and conducted the research involving group dynamics that
laid the foundation for Total Quality Management. At the risk of oversimplifying
how the process of group dynamics works, it could be summarized as a method
of belief and behavior modification, using dialectic-reasoning skills
(remember, all truth is relative), in a group setting. It utilizes the
inherent fear an individual person has of being alienated from the group.
By use of a change agent, or "facilitator," individuals are
herded toward "consensus" by compromising their position for
the sake of "social harmony." According to Lewin, "A successful
change includes, therefore, three aspects: UNFREEZING the present level,
MOVING to the new level, and FREEZING group life on the new level."

This
is precisely the technique with which the communists brainwashed American
POWs, the only difference being they could accelerate the "unfreezing"
phase with physical torture.

In
group dynamics the pain is not physical, it's emotional. Do not underestimate
the force of emotional pain. POWs frequently described their long periods
in isolation as worse than some of the most brutal physical torture Isolation
from the group is a powerful behavior modification weapon.

Transformational
Marxists such as Kurt Lewin refined their weapon for the new battlefield:
Using group dynamics to invade the culture to affect the paradigm shift.
The weapon looks like this:

1.
A Diverse Group ("Diversity" needed for conflict)2. Dialoging to Consensus (Dialectic process)3. Over a Social Issue (Problem/Crisis/Issues)4. In a Facilitated Meeting (Controlled environment
using facilitator/change agent)5. To a Predetermined Outcome (Paradigm shift)

Decoding
the term "Total Quality Management" is impossible without an
understanding of the Marxist foundation upon which it was built. I use
the word "Decoding" because so many of the dialectic concepts
are masked by nice sounding double-talk.

With
this background we arrive at our current application of the dialectic
in our nation. I would like to now focus on the role that your local law
enforcement agency has in the "re-culturing of America." Your
local beat cop has a special part to play, and he doesn't even realize
it. Not only has TQM change agents restructured many of the police departments
in America, they are now in a position to turn the police themselves into
the facilitators of the community through a program called COPs, or Community
Oriented Policing. COPs is a federally funded program administered through
the U.S. Department of Justice. What is COPs? The most succinct definition
I found was in a DJ brochure:

COMMUNITY
POLICING WHAT IS IT?

Shift
in philosophy about police duties vs. community responsibilities to
a team concept of TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT of the community. Re-identifying
the police role as a FACILITATOR in the community (Emphasis mine).

Translation:
Transformation from a constitutionally empowered local police force performing
their duty to keep the peace to that of a change agent working within
the community to affect a Marxist paradigm shift. Pay close attention
to what the influential German Marxist Georg Lukacs had to say about who
the facilitators are in the community: "The institutions in socialist
society which act as the facilitators between the public and private realms
are the Soviets. They (facilitators) are the congresses (diverse groups),
which facilitate the debate (dialoguing to consensus) of universal problems
(social issues) in the context of the everyday."

1.
Leaders of the community (law enforcement, government, business, education,
health, civic, non-profit, medical, religious, etc.) collaborating to
identify problems in the community, what the significant impact on people
will be, and suggesting solutions to those problems. (This is POP, or
Problem Oriented Policing.)

2.
Identifying common ground, where all factions of a community can work
together for the COMMON GOOD of the community in a broader problem-solving
approach. Forming a partnership between police and the rest of the community
where each is accountable to each other and the community as a whole.
(Emphasis mine. End of COPs definition).

Note
the reference to the "common good," the ever-present ideal in
the communist state. Individual rights become subordinated to the so-called
greater good. This raises serious concern over the role of the police
officer in society as a "partner" with community groups and
social service programs, which, due to the blurring of lines of responsibility,
are unaccountable to the public (voters).

To
further understand the philosophy of COPs, one does not have to look further
than the late socio-psychologist Dr. Robert Trojanowicz. Formerly the
director of the National Center for Community Policing at the University
of Michigan, he is considered the father of Community Oriented Policing.
Consider the following selections from his writings:

"Social
control is most effective at the individual level. THE PERSONAL CONSCIENCE
IS THE KEY ELEMENT in ensuring self-control, refraining from deviant behavior
even when it can be easily perpetrated."

"The
family, the next most important unit affecting social control, is obviously
instrumental in the initial formation of the conscience and in the continued
reinforcement of the values that encourage law abiding behavior."

This
is an astonishing admission of the fundamental dynamics of crime prevention
and social disorder. The most conservative thinkers alive today couldn't
have been better articulated what makes for domestic tranquility in any
society. Our founding fathers were keenly aware of this fact. James Madison
cited the fact that our form of limited government is "wholly inadequate"
without personal conscience as the internal social control. So then, in
an effort to solve America's moral chaos, we are going to restore the
personal conscience by encouraging accountability to a higher authority
(Ten Commandments) and strengthening the family, right?" Don't be
silly, says Dr. Trojanowicz.

"Unfortunately,
because of the reduction of influence exerted neighbors, the extended
family and even the family, social control is now often more dependent
on external control, than on internal self-control."

Oh,
darn, he says. Since that "unfortunate" breakdown of conscience
and the family structure, the social order is now dependent on "external
control." Read that, "The State." Unfortunately indeed!
Dr. Trojanowicz ponders the dilemma of the current state of affairs in
his paper Community Policing and the Challenge of Diversity:

"In
addition to raising questions (dialectic reasoning questions all absolutes)
about our national identity, increasing diversity also raises questions
about how we define American "values and morality." (Absolute
values of right and wrong vs. relative values). Many strongly held traditional
beliefs derive from Judeo-Christian traditions. Blended with faith in
the intrinsic virtues of family and the American Dream of the United States
as a meritocracy where those who are willing to work hard will succeed.
Can this model encompass the experience of the growing number of Muslims,
Hindus and Buddhists among us? (What, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists aren't
willing to work hard?) Does it reflect sufficient sensitivity to the concerns
of people of color, women and gays?"

Got
that? Traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs (with their absolute truths
and morals) are out, diversity and relative values are in. If we
are not to restore the personal conscience and the family, what
is his solution? He continues:

"The
community of interest generated by crime, disorder and fear of crime becomes
the goal to allow the community policing officer an entre into the geographic
community."

If
you did not fall out of your chair with that line, you weren't paying
attention. Social chaos is the GOAL for the transformational Marxist.
The crisis of crime and disorder is the door for the police officer as
facilitator/change agent to enter the community (the "client,"
or the latest term, "customer," and to initiate the paradigm
shift! Even though these social architects plainly admit what is most
vital in making for a crime-free community, they have absolutely no intention
of restoring "individual conscience" or going back to repairing
the traditional family. On the contrary, for the past sixty years these
social-psychologists have been introducing these very dialectic concepts
into our school system with the intent on demolishing personal conscience.
Is there any doubt they have succeeded? For them, there is no going back.

"They
(Americans) may not yet recognize that there is no 'going back to basics'
in education."-Training
manual for Goals 2000

"If
'Equality of Opportunity' is to become a part of the American Dream, the
traditional family must be weakened."

Socio
Psychologist-James Coleman:

"In
order to effect rapid change, one must mount a vigorous attack on the
family lest the traditions of present generations be preserved."-Socio-psychologist Warren Bennis in his book, The Temporary
Society. Bennis' book "Leaders," was recommended reading at
one time when one was promoted to sergeant on the S.D.P.D., wherein he
identifies the leaders in any organization as "agents of change."

Dr.
Trojanowicz admits in no uncertain terms that is what his research
is all about:

"It
should also be noted that the continuing interest in finding a viable
definition for the term community has not merely been an intellectual
exercise. The theme underlying much of the research is that once you
can identify a community, you have discovered the primary unit of society
ABOVE the level of the individual and family that can be mobilized to
take concerted action to bring about POSITIVE SOCIAL CHANGE."

Just
in case you doubt the Marxist nature of their concepts of community
transformation, Trojanowicz quotes Saul Alinsky, the extreme Marxist
change agent of the "60's who authored Rules for Radicals."
Alinsky proposed "we begin viewing community through the prism
of issues (Issues=problems=crisis= conflict) which, in essence,
constitutes the most urgent kind of community of interest."

"What
community policing does is put an officer in daily face-to-face
contact with the community, so that he or she can have the input
of the community in setting priorities. Unlike police programs of
the past where police administrators or so-called community leaders
set the police agenda, the community policing movement encourages
average citizens to become involved."

Formerly,
the police administrators were accountable to the elected officials
who were accountable to the voters (representative democracy). This
new paradigm that Trojanowicz describes is exactly what Marxist
George Lukacs termed "participatory democracy" and is
nothing more than the Soviet style council. The United States Constitution
was the law of the land (absolute authority) restraining government
intrusion into the rights of the individual. The framers designed
it to insulate the private realm (the individual) from the public
realm (government). Allow me to repeat Lukacs:

"The
institutions in socialist society which act as the facilitators
between the public and private realms are the Soviets."

By
practicing the dialectic, we are removing the only barrier between
a tyrannical government and the private citizen. Your neighborhood
cop is now that facilitator, the Soviet. Why a police officer?

"In
the role of the community ombudsman/liaison (i.e. facilitator),
the community policing officer also acts as the community's link
to other agencies. The police are the only governmental agency open
24 hours a day, which makes them the ideal public agent to begin
regenerating community spirit."

The

Conclusion:

Useful
idiots?

When
Lenin was consolidating the Bolshevik revolution, he wrote
how he would implement the communist bureaucracy without hardcore
Marxist believers. While the elite rulers of his inner circle
understood the structure he was building, Lenin said he would
exploit the natural vanity and ambition of people to forward
his agenda without them knowing what they were really doing.
Eager to gain his favor and to enhance their political careers,
they would fall all over themselves trying to promote his
agenda. He called these types of people "useful Idiots."
Before you brand every police officer you see as an undercover
Marxist, understand that most of them comprehend little of
what they are participating in. In reality, most officers
intuitively know that something is wrong in their organization,
but they play the game rather than risk damaging their career.
Sadly, they constitute a vast army of "useful idiots."

I'm
all for "promoting mutual trust" and "cooperation
between the people and the police" and "empowering
neighborhoods." These "positive social changes"
are the selling points for Community Policing. But in reality,
those appealing ideals camouflage the vehicle of Marxist change.

Who
asked the citizenry if they wanted their communities "transformed"
and their government "reinvented"? Who asked parents
if they wanted their children to learn with their feelings
instead of learning facts? Who asked your local police officers
if they wanted their beliefs and attitudes manipulated? No
one asked because if someone did, they would have been run
out of town. Instead, using dialectic-reasoning skills, they
have schemed to seduce, deceive and manipulate every community
in the land into a utopian vision of so-called "unity
in diversity."These social engineers have no intention of taking
America back to individual conscience within the family structure
in order to preserve domestic peace and tranquility. That
would mean a return to recognizing and submitting to the higher
Authority. This "vision" has failed wherever it
has been tried. By participating in the dialectic, we have
deified human reason; traded in God and truth for relative
values and consensus; and abandoned individual liberty and
inalienable rights for the common good and diversity. In the
final analysis, we are destined for Totalitaria, and worse,
the loss of our souls.

The
terms "communism," "socialism," "Marxism,"

The names change, because deception is one of the rules of
the game. Many erroneously believe that the cold war is over
and that we actually won. But the revolution is still very
much alive and America is losing. The culture war is raging
in our schools, our workplaces, our media and our churches.
Antonio Gramsci would be very pleased if he could see just
how effective his strategy has been.
